“ Great experience and delicious Chinese food! It's a small menu but curated with great options and classics. We shared a starter with chicken satay, the perfect start. The I had an amazing duck bao packed with tasty duck meat, the bun was nice and fluffy, loved it! The fries are skinny and crispy, very tasty. Salt and chilli chicken was also great. There are a few cocktails on the menu, i definitely recommend the Lychee Daiquiri!! Lovely restaurant and team, i can see us going back here for more Cantonese scran when in Shawlands. ”
“ Salt and Chilli in Shawlands has quickly become one of my favorite spots. Their salt and chilli chicken and chicken katsu are both amazing, not to mention the delightful lychee Cosmo. The place has a great vibe with a lovely atmosphere, and the service is top-notch. Highly recommended! ”

“ We went with a large group of us including 2 young kids so eating out is always somewhat challenging. The service was fantastic and the staff were so kind and loved the kids, despite them making a mess (sorry guys) The food was incredible and the vibe/ atmosphere was really nice. Would definitely come back again and would recommend! ”
“ Called in today to try out the food......was not disappointed. Ordered salt and chilli chicken with rice and curry sauce. Partner ordered salt and chilli chicken with chips and Hoisin sauce. Food came out really quick and was well presented. Great portion sizes for the 2 course menu and tasted amazing. Will be going back again soon. ”
“ First time visiting here and will definitely be back! Lovely little restaurant. Food was exceptional, couldn’t fault it! My husband had the salt and chilli chicken and chips and I had the Hong Kong chicken and both were delicious! Staff were also very nice and polite. ”
“ Salt and Chilli Oriental offers a delightful experience in Chinese cuisine. The cozy atmosphere complements the compact but diverse menu, featuring an array of enticing dishes. From flavourful fish balls to their delectable, finger licking HK French toast, each bite showcases the authenticity of their culinary expertise. You must not miss out on their iconic Salt and Chilli dishes! The staff's friendliness adds to the inviting ambiance, making it a hidden gem for those seeking an enjoyable Chinese dining experience. ”
“ Second time ordering and both times it’s been sensational. Food always arrived quickly and was roasting hot. The salt and chilli box comes with a good amount of chicken and loads of chips. Got the sriracha mayo and that goes perfectly with the chips and chicken. Tried the Katsu curry with jasmine rice tonight and was really impressed. The curry sauce tub has little chunks of carrot and other veg through it which makes it taste even better, the katsu chicken was lovely and crispy and there was loads of jasmine rice. Overall a really good portion size, tastes amazing, a little bit on the expensive side but if you can get an offer on apps like Uber etc then it’s 100% worth ordering. ”
